The Alabama Legislature starts the second half of the 2013 legislative session Tuesday. Up quickly is likely to be the General Fund budget (that diverts money from children's programs to balance this year), much stricter rules on abortion clinics and maybe some adjustments to the Alabama Accountability Act rammed through by Republicans.

Also, the Birmingham Airport Authority is doing a lousy job handling a recent tragedy at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. A flight information sign fell over, trapping four members of a family. Later, one of the family members, a 10-year-old boy, died. The Airport Authority is investigating, but is keeping much information away from the public.

Discuss these topics and others during the weekly live chat Tuesday at 1 p.m. with Pulitzer Prize-winner Joey Kennedy. Kennedy, a community engagement specialist for AL.com and The Birmingham, and his colleague Edward Bowser will answer questions and offer analysis and perspective.

The chat will take place in the comments section, so to participate you must have an AL.com account. It doesn't cost anything to sign up. Go here to create your account.

Then you'll be ready to join Kennedy on Tuesday's chat. The chat starts at 1 o'clock sharp and goes for about an hour. Join in and tell Joey Kennedy what you think, because he'll certainly tell you.
